Hello Parents and Students,
We are excited to begin the new school year. The first few days in PE will be dealing with the logistics of the classes, passing out clothing purchased, getting locks and lockers assigned, etc. Students will not be dressing out until the second week at the earliest.
Locks for lockers MUST be purchased through the school. These locks come with Serial numbers and a key lock that allows us to either look up combinations for the students or unlock them with our keys. Locks from older siblings that were purchased through UMS are ok to use.
Once we begin dressing out for classes students are required to change out of their school clothes into PE clothes. Wearing shorts or leggings you wore to school for PE, or under their PE clothes will be marked as a non-suit. Crocks are not appropriate footwear for class. Students are able to change into their PE clothes and wear a sweatshirt they wore to school over their PE clothes.
Cell Phones are NOT allowed out at PE. Students must leave their phones off and in their backpacks during class. Cell Phones brought out to PE will be sent to the office for the parents to pick up.
